20 Hot Valentine’s Gifts For Designers And Geeks

Hot Valentine’s Gifts For Designers And Geeks

Is it too late to share some interesting finds for Valentine’s Day? I think not. I love seeing what is out there for special occasions, especially gifts that cater to the inner geek. Admit it, there is a little bit of geekiness in you! It is, in me. How else does one explain getting excited about fake lego jewelry or digital music on a USB stick that is camouflaged in a retro cassette tape package?

If you didn’t take time off from coding your latest app or designing your newest logo or redesigning your portfolio and completely forgot to get your better half (most definitely your better half if you are the one who has forgotten) something small, something quirky but useless, something meaningful in the nerd universe; then this list is just what you need. As always, I have put together some fun stuff for Valentine’s that your Valentine may get a kick out of.

Have you watched Scott Pilgrim? The modern day epitome of geek oozes out from every part of the movie. These Scott Pilgrim kissing mugs for “him” and “her” would be perfect to pour some of that geekiness into your everyday life.

2. Mans Candle

A candle for the man! Nutmeg & Ginger with a splash of Motor Oil. Lemongrass & Thyme with a dash of Lady Luck …. very creative and geeky fragrance combinations. I wonder what they smell like!

Someone recently raised a question about how much those cut flowers in vases cost? The ones that sit on a coffee table during a television chat show or interview. It is a legitimate question. How cool would it be to give your love some gorgeous flowers that didn’t need watering and also told them that you value your money and the environment?

Modern, cool, this necklace looks like a paper airplane. But it also has the geometric shape of a heart, with two halves of a perfectly matched whole. This would most definitely excite the logo designer or origami nerd in your life!

As for me. I am going gift-free this year. So is Nick! We are opting instead for a special lunch and dinner together where we will no doubt remniscise about past Valentine’s days and the surprises we sprung on each other and the juvenile gifts we exchanged. On that note, wish you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day.
